Only use it for the assignment we’re working on—nothing extra, no sneaky tabs.
“You did the work... but submitted it wrong. Why might you still end up with a zero?”
You did not communicate. I do not search for work that is not easily accessible to where it should be.
You turned in an assignment and think you got one over one me but I in fact found out you copied, used AI or had someone else do it, now what?
It’s considered academic dishonesty and won’t be accepted. You will receive a zero NO EXCEPTIONS.

Using that good ol' pen and paper to ensure you get credit for the work OR coming to tutoring on Friday to makeup your work
When should you be quiet and focused, and when are you expected to speak up in this class?
Voices should be off and focused when I'm talking, but you should speak up and contribute during group work or class discussions.
You just have to throw something out, get something from a classmate or pick up something you dropped. How do you handle moving around my room?
You dont, you do not get up for any reason unless you ask for. I am very serious about this
